This subject certainly brings back memories, in my sea going days Rum & Coke was one of my favourite tipples, my docking bottle was "Four Bells Rum & I believe that you could only buy it on ships.
Tha last time I had a bottle of this rum was when I managed to get a bottle off the manager of the Missions to Seamen (Middlesbrough) now the Baltimore Hotel.
Jack the manager was a secong Engineer who sailed with the first company I sailed with he had managed to get a case sent up from the Southamton Mission by a friend of his who was manager.
Happy days,
Best wishes,
John Aspin (Ormesby-Middlesbrough)
